When you visit my Zazzle store, you’re not browsing mass-produced
merchandise. You’re stepping into a studio my studio where every product begins
with original art, thoughtful design, and a deep respect for the creative
process.
I’m not a factory. I’m not a fulfillment center. I’m a designer, writer,
photographer, and full-time caregiver to my husband. I create with purpose and
design work helps me stay focused, grounded, and creatively engaged. It’s how I
decompress, how I contribute, and how I protect my voice.
Behind the Scenes: How I Create
Templates That Feel Personal
I specialize in creating customizable templates for greeting
cards, invitations, stationery, and more. These aren’t generic layouts. Each
template is built from original artwork I’ve designed using AI tools, my own
photography, or collage art.
I create original artwork using AI tools, but every piece begins with my
own prompt, vision, and design decisions. Whether it’s a watercolor-style
composition, a collage, or a photographic overlay, the creative direction is
entirely mine.
I treat AI like a brush not a substitute for creativity. The tools help
me render the image, but the concept, the color palette, and the emotional tone
all come from me.
Here’s what goes into each design:
- Original
artwork: I use to create with public domain vintage holiday cards, but now I
create the art myself whether it’s a photo, a digital painting, or a
layered collage.
- Custom text
placement: I decide where every word goes. I don’t rely on default settings.
I adjust spacing, alignment, and font pairings to match the tone of the
message.
- Color and font
curation: I select ink colors and fonts that reflect the mood whether it’s
joyful, solemn, romantic, or playful.
- Handwritten
voice: I write my own greetings and invitation text. No filler. No
copy-paste. Just words that resonate.
Templates may be editable, but they’re not impersonal. They’re designed
with care, so customers can make them their own without losing the integrity of
the original design.
More Than Cards
While I’m known for my greeting card and invitation templates, my studio
also offers:
- Clothing featuring
original photography and seasonal motifs
- Home décor inspired by
natural textures, regional history, and quiet beauty
Nothing in my store is mass-produced. Every product begins with a
creative decision I made based on what I see, what I feel, and what I want to
share.
And to be clear: I am the designer. I am not the shipper or fulfillment
provider. My role is to create the art and layout. Zazzle handles the printing
and delivery.
Why It Matters
When you support my studio, you’re supporting a real person. You’re
choosing originality over convenience. You’re helping preserve a creative
footprint built on voice, vision, and intentional design.
So no, this isn’t Amazon. This isn’t Walmart.
This is Susan’s Nature & Seasonal Studio.
And every product I offer is uniquely mine.
